• Do not use any cooking surface or pot that is larger than the recommended size. Our cooking surfaces have been specifically designed to allow gas combustion to escape, and the closure of this space could affect the performance of this appliance.

Gas Container

• Gas is supplied to the unit via a hose and regulator.
• The hose and regulator can be connected to a gas cylinder or a Power Pak, which is a unit that takes two or more gas cartridges.
• This appliance must only be used with an approved hose and regulator.
• Only to be used with a gas cylinder that does not exceed 500mm in height (not including the regulator) and 400mm in width.
• Keep gas containers away from heat and flame. Do not place on a stove or any other hot surface.
• Do not try to remove the gas container whilst the appliance is in operation.
• The valve of the gas container must be kept in a closed position, and the container must be disconnected from the appliance after use or when in storage.

Light back

• In the event of a light back (where the flame burns back and ignites inside the burner or venturi housing), immediately turn off the gas supply by firstly closing the control valve on the gas cylinder and then the appliance valve.
• After the flame is extinguished, remove the regulator and check the condition of the seal; replace the seal if in doubt. Re-light the appliance.
• Should the flame persistently light back, return the product to your authorized repair agent.

Leaks

• If there is a gas leak on your appliance (smell of gas), immediately turn off the gas supply by turning the control knob clockwise to the OFF “•” position and take it to a flame-free location where the gas leak may be detected and stopped.
• If you wish to check for gas leaks on your appliance, do it outside. Do not try to detect gas leaks using a flame; use soapy water.

How to Check

• It is important that all gas connections are correctly connected to prevent any gas leaks.
• The correct way is to smear the joint, i.e., where the gas container connects to the appliance, with soapy water. Turn the appliance control knob slightly anti-clockwise to turn the gas on. If bubbles form, then there is a gas leak.  Immediately turn the gas off and disconnect the gas supply from the appliance. Check that all the connections are properly fitted. Check that the seal is in place and in good condition before connecting the gas supply. Re-check with soapy water after refitting the gas supply.
• If a gas leak persists, return the product to your local dealer for inspection/repair.

Parts

Fitting and changing the gas supply

Connecting the Gas Supply

• Before connecting the appliance to a gas supply, ensure that the rubber seal on the regulator is in position and in good condition.
• Before connecting the hose and regulator to the appliance, check that the appliance control knob is in the OFF “•” position.
• Carry out this check each time you fit the appliance to a gas cylinder.
• Blow out any dust from the gas supply opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.
• Fit an approved hose and regulator to the appliance.
• Ensure that the gas supply (gas cylinder/gas cartridge) is fitted in a well-ventilated location away from any source of ignition, such as naked flames and away from other people.
• Do not twist or pinch the hose. Ensure that it is routed away from the stove body to prevent deterioration/damage to the hose caused by heat.
• Make sure that the gas cylinder is kept upright at all times, and connect to the cylinder by screwing on the cap and tightening it until fully engaged.
• Ensure that a complete gas seal has been made (check for the smell of gas around the connection joint). Do not check for leaks with a naked flame. Use warm, soapy water only, applied to the joints and connections of the appliance. Any leakage will show up as bubbles around the leakage area.
• If you cannot rectify the gas leak, do not use the appliance. If you are in doubt, contact your nearest stockist.

Disconnecting and changing the gas supply

• After use, turn the appliance control knob to the OFF “•” position and close the gas supply.
• When you need to replace your empty cylinder, make sure that the gas is closed at the cylinder valve.
• Do not smoke while changing the cylinder.
• Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder.
• Attach the regulator to the full cylinder. Refer to the instructions above on how to connect the gas supply.
• Apply the same care and checking procedures as if fitting a new gas cylinder.

How to check if your gas cylinder is empty

• The easiest way to check if you are low on gas is by picking up your gas cylinder.
• If you think your gas cylinder is feeling a little lighter than you’d like, weighing the bottle is a great way to see how much gas is left. Most cylinders will have the empty weight stamped on either the neck or foot ring, and if the weight indicated on the stamp and the weight of your cylinder are the same, you’re out of gas. You can then approximate the amount of gas you have left by the difference in weight.

Operating the appliance

• When operating this appliance, please take care to ensure that all parts are in good working order and that you have checked for any gas leaks before lighting the appliance with every use.
• Cooking surfaces can simply be placed and are ready to use. No assembly required.
• The appliance is designed for use with cooking vessels of not less than 180mm in diameter and not greater than 250mm in diameter.
• Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.

Spares

Always use genuine spares as they have been designed to give optimum performance. Contact your local supplier for assistance.

Lighting the Appliance

• It is recommended to remove any cooking surfaces when trying to light the appliance.
• This way, it will be easy to see the burner when it is lit.
• To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push in and turn the control knob 90° in an anti-clockwise direction, then press the piezo button to ignite the gas.
• If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, turn the control knob back to its “•” position.
• Try again, by pushing and turning the control knob anti-clockwise and pushing the piezo button to ignite the gas.
• If the gas has not ignited in the first two to three seconds, you should close the control valve by turning the control knob back to its “•” position.
• Do not hold the piezo button or control knob for more than 15 seconds.
• If after 15 seconds the burner has not lit, stop operating the device and wait at least 1 minute, allowing accumulated gas to escape, before attempting further ignition of the burner.
• Repeat the above process if necessary until the flame ignites.
• The flame should normally light up within the first one to two seconds.
• In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn the control knob to the OFF “•” position and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 minute.

General

• Once the appliance is lit, the flame intensity may be adjusted by turning the control knob counterclockwise to reduce the flame or clockwise to increase the flame.
• When cooking food with a high fat content, flaring may occur if the selected heat setting is too high. Should this happen, turn the heat down until the flaring ceases.
• Do not move the appliance when in use. It is an unsafe practice to move the appliance whilst lit and may cause flaring.
• After use, first close the control valve on the gas cylinder (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the control valve on the appliance.

Green Grill cooking

• Most CADAC | Dometic cooking surfaces have our GreenGrill coating. This ceramic coating is completely PFOA-free; it contains no toxic substances and guarantees healthier cooking!

Preparation and Use

• Seasoning before using the cooking surface for the first time, you can season it to give the cooking surface a thin protective layer that prevents food from sticking.
• It is not required, but we do recommend it. It’s very easy: lightly rub cooking oil on the surface and then place it over medium heat for 2 – 3 minutes.
• When it cools, wash the cooking surface with soapy water before use and grease it lightly with some oil (cooking oil of your choice, e.g., sunflower oil). It’s ready to go!
• Never leave the cooking surface on the heat source without oil. Apply a thin layer of oil with a kitchen paper towel or a brush before placing the cooking surface on the heat source. Make sure you have oiled all parts, so with e.g. a BBQ grill, I’d include the raised edges as well.
• We recommend frying in sunflower oil or rapeseed oil because of the high burning point.
• Olive oil can have a relatively low burning point, which can cause the ingredients to stick to the pan or burn. We therefore do not recommend using olive oil.
• Always use silicone and/or wooden utensils so that the Green Grill coating is not damaged. Never use metal utensils, as this can damage the coating.

Cleaning your cooking surfaces

• Always allow cooking surfaces to cool completely before immersing them in water.
• The GreenGrill coating is ‘Easy Clean’. Warm soapy water with a soft sponge is sufficient for cleaning the cooking surfaces with GreenGrill coating. Avoid scouring pads or steel wool.
• For stubborn stains or residues, you can try the ‘vinegar method’: pour a layer of vinegar into the pan and heat the pan slightly.
• The vinegar does not have to boil and should certainly not evaporate completely.
• Pour the vinegar out of the pan, clean the pan with soapy water, and the pan is as good as new.
• The CADAC | Dometic Soft Soak (sold separately) is the ideal companion product to facilitate soaking.
• When using the Soft Soak, we recommend placing the cooking surface face down, which allows for maximum soaking and also uses less water.
• Any stubborn stains that remain after soaking can be loosened and brushed away using the CADAC | Dometic Soft Soak Brush (sold separately.

Maintenance

• We recommend adding a little oil to the cooking surface after cleaning and spreading it with kitchen paper.
• The oil seals the surface from the outside air and moisture. It also ensures that the food does not burn into the surface.
• Place the cooking surface in a plastic bag before you put it into its storage bag so you are ensured the storage bag remains clean and oil-free.

Cleaning the appliance

• It is recommended to clean your appliance after every use. This will prolong the life of your appliance.
• Allow the appliance to cool down before you clean it.
• Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of soapy water to clean exterior surfaces.
• To clean the stove body, simply wipe with a damp cloth using a little detergent, if necessary.
• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER,  as this will allow water to get into the burner tube, causing the appliance to malfunction.
• Make sure that no water gets onto the burners or pilot/light area. Wipe the appliance completely dry before use.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surfaces.
• Clean the appliance after each use. After cleaning, recondition the cooking surface with a light wipe of oil.
• Do not use any high-pressure steam equipment or a water jet to clean the appliance.
• Note: For stubborn stains, CADAC oven cleaner may be used.

Storage

Always allow the unit to cool down and be cleaned before storing.

• Turn off the gas supply to the appliance, disconnect, and remove the gas supply from the appliance.
• Never store an appliance with the gas supply conn;cted, this is an unsafe practice.
• Store the appliance and gas supply in a well-ventilated area away from combustible material. Storage of cylinders should preferably be outdoors and must NOT be in a basement.
